i have found it increasingly difficult to post lately and i think that's part of lefts plan....to keep piling on until we become so exhausted that we give up........i'm not giving up.....some bullet points and observations.
there is an awful lot about what happened at the Capital on January 6th that needs to be investigated, but one point is indisputable.
One million people gathered on the great lawn (ellipse) in an effort to have a rally titled "Save our Country". If President Trump had stepped to the microphone and thanked everyone for coming and calmed everyone down and told them to go home peacefully and to keep trying to save our country or bring about change in their local communities by voting ...and to accept Joe Biden as their President.....do you think the rally would have even made the evening news ? Or would Norah odonnel (she doesn't deserve a capital O and ' ) and the other talking heads spent their 30 minutes gushing over the biden certification . ...honestly ask yourself......would cbs and abc give even 1/10th the coverage they gave to the sleepy floyd demonstrations ?
for 4 years the left cried and cowered and compared President Trump to Hitler and called him a fascist and or a racist....but the President did more to encourage free speech that anyone before him.....everyone was free to say anything good, bad or indifferent about him......professional sports teams regularly used our National Anthem as an opportunity to protest ...(that's a crime in some countries) people took to the streets and burned the flag ( try that in Moscow or bejing). The President absolutely criticized and mocked these people , but nobody was arrested for protesting peacefully or posting their displeasure ......and now , before he's even left office his message has been blocked on Twitter......and yesterday Apple and Amazon decided they would no longer carry the conservative free speech platform PARLOR..........because censorship is the solution to all our problems.
seriously though....the Corporations of this world have been selling us the rope to hang ourselves. what starts out as a convenience ( think ATM) becomes the norm and soon the only option ...and ultimately you are charged for the convenience you never asked for. Years ago when you ordered something online the Seller would ask if you wanted to leave your email so they could send you updates and coupons.....in 20 short years you can't even browse a site until you create a verified account with an email and phone number and home address ( maybe even date of birth), and we slowly , sometimes grudgingly; acquiesce ...........i ask all of my friends.....how many phone #'s do you know by heart ? ....so if say tomorrow the government imposed martial law in a section of the country....and the media refused to cover the story in the evening news.....and Apple wiped clean your contacts........who could you call ? how could you get the word out ? ....now consider the Banks were in cahoots....and you could no longer log into your Chase account ......i'm sure you know your user name and password.....but do you have your bank acct # written down ? it goes on and on and on.....every time there is a blackout , i am reminded of just how dependent we are on technology .....and how easy it would be to use that dependence against us .......if the Leader of the free world can be censored, well you know the rest.
have you ever seen Pink Floyd the Wall ? i played around and updated the lyrics a little bit just for the fun of it. ( original lyrics in parenthesis)
To feel that warm thrill of confusion,
That space cadet glow.
I've got some bad news for you sunshine,
Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel
And they sent us along as a surrogate band
We're gonna find out where you fans* really stand.
Are there any Heterosexuals (queers) in the theater tonight?
Get them up against the wall!
There's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me,
Get him up against the wall!
That one looks Catholic (Jewish!)
And that one's is white (a coon!)
Who let all of this riff-raff into the room?
There's one (not) smoking a joint,
And another with spots!
If I had my way,
I'd have all of you shot!
